XRPL to Reset Testnet and Devnet on November 25, Wiping All On-Chain Data

Brief

By Dextape Desk · November 10, 2026

The XRP Ledger team will reset Testnet and Devnet, the networks developers use for testing, on November 25, 2026, between 5 and 6 PM Pacific. All accounts, balances, tokens and other on-chain records on those networks will be deleted, according to the Operations account's November 10 notice. Ripple's accompanying blog post says the single full history server on Testnet crashed and could not be recovered without a reset. Mainnet, Xahau and the Hooks testnet keep running normally. Developers must request new test XRP from the faucet and rebuild their accounts, while operators of their own servers should delete database files and restart. Ripple also plans storage upgrades that it hopes will make future resets less frequent.

Why it matters: The reset shows that infrastructure failures on test networks can force full data wipes, affecting developers who depend on those environments before launch.
